Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan Winkelmann, Borchen, Germany
- Age at study initiation: healthy adult animal
- Weight at study initiation: 2.6 kg
- Housing: conventional, single housing in stainless steel cages
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Ssniff K4 complete feed for rabbits, ad libitum, supplied by Ssniff Spezialfutter GmbH, Soest, Germany
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Drinking water ad libitum, supplied by Gelsenwasser, Wasserwerk Haltern, Germany
- Acclimation period: 14 days


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 cm³
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Because of supposed corrosive skin irritations caused by the test substance, first the animal was treated with an exposure time of three minutes (open patch) on the right flank. One hour after patch removal no severe skin lesions were observed. Therefore the other flank of the animal was treated with an exposure time of 1 hour.
Observation period:
up to 23 days
Number of animals:
1
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm² of shaved skin of the dorsal area of the trunk of the animal
- % coverage: not mentioned
- Type of wrap if used: on the application area a gauze patch was placed, the patch was held in place with a non-irritant plaster

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with warm water
- Time after start of exposure: 1 hour

SCORING SYSTEM: according to OECD guideline 404
